In this tutorial I will show you how to create a really trendy glowing/shining text effect in Photoshop playing with some brushes and adjustment layers. It's a very easy tutorial and you will be able to do the whole process in 5-10 minutes.
Since this text effect looks best on dark colored backgrounds, let’s create one. Using the color #0f1c25 and black, create a radial gradient from the center of your document.
Let’s set some type in the document to use the effect on. Bolder and stronger fonts will work better! You may want to download the font used: Nevis Bold

Apply the layer effects shown below, making any modifications as needed.

You can use this technique in lots of different projects, like logos, posters, and Web site headers, for example. I hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial, and let me know if you have any questions.
